The best travel show on television is back with a new series, and off to a supersonic start, flying Concorde to New York. John Carter reports on a very special round-the-world tour - and there's an opportunity to win that self-same holiday, for two people in a Radio Times/Holiday competition. (Details on page 92)
The Mediterranean island of Ibiza is Anne Gregg's assignment. She looks at the various attractions of the island, and at the 'nuts and bolts' of a package holiday there - the kind of holiday taken by millions.
Within this new series there are two 'mini series', one of which takes a look at various parts of Britain as seen through the eyes of locally-based reporters. For the first of those films Jane Franchi travels around Tayside in Scotland.
In the studio, news and comment on the holiday scene.

This extraordinary, exuberant movie about New York's seedy High School for the Performing Arts spawned a successful television series and brought fame to its largely unknown young cast. Opening with auditions for the school, the film takes a hard look at the hopes and dreams, the heartbreaks, tragedies and triumphs of the eight starry-eyed student performers struggling to achieve success during their four years at the school.

Q: Are you really saying that someone who is in all respects a good person, but has not found the Christian faith, is going to Hell?
A: Yes. It's not me saying it, it's God's revelation.

Luis Palau is an Argentinian evangelist. He's been called 'the new Billy Graham'. Over the past 17 years he has preached to five million people in 37 countries. Now he's arrived in Britain, and this coming June he'll be trying to save souls at the Queen's Park Rangers Stadium, west London, every night for a month. His message is uncompromising: he believes the many compromises the churches have made in recent times to arrest their decline have only accelerated it. His evidence? The thousands who have flocked to the more basic 'evangelical' Christianity that he - and other similar preachers - have offered over the past few years. But does this kind of fundamentalist Christianity really make sense in the 20th century? Can we still believe in the narrow path to Heaven, the broad highway to Hell? In this film Peter France follows Luis Palau through one of his big warm-up meetings at Wembley, examining his message and talking to those who claim it has changed their lives.
